When Our Lungs Are Empty

Last year we found our demons
That each of us possessed
We kept them in the darkness
Along with all the rest

And many kept on feeling
Are these journeys made in vain?
Keep on driving on without us
And don’t dare to use our name

So we’ll sing your muddled chorus
In a key we cannot play
And when our lungs are emptied
We will slowly fade away

(Do you hear the) sirens
That amplify our shame?
Yet you drive this car without us
And you dare to use our name

So sing your sweet chorus
In a key we can’t see
And when our lungs are empty
You can fade out with me

We’ve got scraps inside our psyches
That trace a path to shame
And a head full of weary strangers
That don’t even know our name

Fade away
